Recolight is working hard today to ensure all new entrants to the lighting supply market are WEEE compliant. We also need to look ahead to predict long term waste trends, to ensure sustainability. Manufacturers predict what’s coming onto the market and how sales patterns will change over the next few years. Recolight needs to look further ahead to what waste will come back as a result of those changes to product sales. We need to make assessments of the recycling rates that will be needed to comply with the changes to the WEEE regulations. We also need to assess the recycling technologies and collection methods that may be needed, and the associated costs. Nigel Harvey, Chief Executive of Recolight

“ “ Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a real possibility for the

future and one that I am personally very excited about. As the power required for LED lamps continues to decrease and the power that can be provided by PoE increases– here emerges a viable, cost effective and energy efficient power source that will have a huge impact on how we design and conceive lighting in the future. On current projections this technology will cut energy consumption by half. Peter Le Manquais, Group Technical Director at

WILA

The future

of LED lighting will demand better ways to control colour mixing in order

to achieve accurate match to conventional incandescent light sources with gel; smooth intensity fades; better means of crossfade between colours; and user friendly control surfaces in control desks, as well as fixture software algorithms. Energy efficiency will remain the driver for future lighting technology. It will need a lot of effort from these of us who care for quality of light to defend the output that we are used to from incandescent light sources. ETC is working hard to ensure that this aim is upheld. Erik Larsen, Market manager for ETC Ltd
